Shark among 81 species found along Sussex coastline by researchers | ITV News

Scientists from the University of Sussex have identified 81 different marine species along the Sussex coastline, including the tope shark and the European eel, which are both critically endangered.
They found the different creatures living under the water across 28 survey sites between Shoreham-by-Sea and Selsey, which also includes a 300-square kilometre area of local coastline where a trawling ban was put in place in 2021.
The researchers said that while these species are not unique to UK waters, some of them “are quite rare and of high conservation concern”.

This is WONDERFUL!!! I so hope the protected area is respected by every person, and indeed, even expands soon!

Brilliant news this is❤️. However, it just had to be the UK coastline where the camera only takes 5 seconds to reach the sea bed🤣🤣. That did make me chuckle !! We may only have a large rock pool, but we appear to be doing a damned good job at protecting it, on the Sussex coastline in any case👍👌.
